Orange Sugar Cookies

Seeing as it’s citrus season, I thought it would be the perfect time to post this recipe. And considering our huge orange tree which is constantly in fruition, this sugar cookie recipe has come in handy more than once. I’ve also made a few variations of this recipe, which I will post below, but feel free to create your own combinations!

With your hands, roll little balls of mixture and then flatten onto the baking paper.

Bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until golden brown. They should still be soft when you pull them out of the oven, as they will harden as they cool.

Other variations:

Add a few sprigs of rosemary to the mixture and right before placing in the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Press lightly on the cookies so the seeds stick.

Add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder (up to 1/4 cup, depending on how chocolatey you like it) to the cookie dough to create a choc-orange cookie. Once out of the oven and cooled, dip one half of the cookie in melted vegan dark chocolate.
